My income dropped to unemployment benefits and my bills have not changed. There are 18 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. What helped the most?

Subscriptions first, then the phone plan. I saved about $800 a year just by switching to a cheaper plan.
